Medical sales executive on Lakeside Bank board charged with fraud for allegedly selling mislabeled surgical products

A Mokena-based medical supplies executive who sits on the Lakeside Bank board is facing federal fraud charges for allegedly mislabeling and selling devices used in surgical procedures. Anthony Iaderosa and his company, Synergy Surgical, are charged with removal of labeling on sutures, gauges and other products while the medical devices were held for sale, according to an indictment filed Monday in Chicago federal court. Misbranding medical devices after shipment in interstate commerce is a felony under Food and Drug Administration regulations. Iaderosa did not respond to several requests for comment. A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign graduate, Iaderosa founded the southwest suburban company, formerly known as eSutures, in 2000, carving out a medical supply chain niche as a wholesale liquidator of “brand name surgical supplies at discounted prices,” according to the firm’s website. Synergy Surgical also buys surplus products for resale from hospitals and doctors, including open-boxed or loose individual items. The current product inventory includes in-date and expired surgical equipment ranging from hypodermic needles and sutures to catheters, all listed by brand.
